Sorry for the delay, I got sick, a stomach virus and wasn't using my phone. I am getting divorced eventually. I do not have a divorce lawyer now. I tried 6 years ago and she told me to turn down a deal that was good. I regret that. The deal is no longer valid because my husbands father was going to pay me out right $250,00 plus alimony. My husbands father passed away and so did the deal. We are together in the same house now, we tried to sell but had no offers. So just for saving money we are here. I work for him also, we split the money after paying our expenses. He tells me all the time he can replace me. It's his business. It's just a threat because he's a nasty human being. So my question was if I quit can I get alimony? We've been married 31 years and live in NJ.
